“Tina was a fantastic sitter for our 10-year old pup! She is clearly a “dog person” at heart and set us at ease right away. Snowball settled in right away and acted confident and comfortable with Tina. She took him for walks and played with toys and sent us cute photos each day! It was evident Tina took excellent care of him! Tina was also quick to respond and communicated well throughout our booking. Will definitely book with Tina again!”

She kept me updated throughout the stay and sent lots of pictures, which really helped put my mind at ease while I was away. It made such a difference knowing my puppy was in good hands. I would definitely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter. 🐾”

“We highly recommend Melanie and Randy. They welcomed Dean Martin and treated him like their own. Our flight home was cancelled and our arrival was almost 24 hours later than planned but Melanie and Randy were flexible and accommodated our request to extend Dean Martin's stay. It made a stressful travel situation less stressful knowing that Dean Martin was well loved and cared for. Thank you!”

About: Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I have professional experience working as a dog handler with detection canines, which has given me hands-on experience with canine behavior, handling, safety, and maintaining a structured environment. I understand that every pet has a different personality, comfort level, and set of needs, and I take the time to provide appropriate care for each pet entrusted to me. Safety is always the priority for your pet, my family, other animals, and anyone interacting with your pet. I believe good boarding should provide owners with peace of mind knowing their pet is being cared for by someone who is attentive, responsible, and experienced around animals. Pets are housed in a secure, indoor, climate-controlled kennel area where they can remain comfortable regardless of the weather. They also have access to a fenced outdoor kennel area that provides additional space, fresh air, and shelter from the elements. I provide a clean, structured, and secure environment and will follow your pet's normal feeding schedule, medications, routines, and other care instructions as closely as possible. Whether you're away for a night, a weekend, or a longer trip, my goal is simple: keep your pet safe, comfortable, well cared for, and give you confidence that they're in capable hands while you're away. I work offsite during the day, but I have a strong and dependable family support system at home to ensure pets receive appropriate oversight and care throughout the day. I personally handle morning and evening care, including feeding, exercise, kennel care, and ensuring each pet’s individual needs and routine are being met. Our boarding kennel is separate from our family home, providing pets with their own dedicated, quiet, and controlled space. The indoor kennel area is climate controlled and provides access to a secure, fenced outdoor kennel area with shelter, allowing dogs to safely spend time outside when appropriate. While I am at work, trusted family members are available to provide supervision, potty breaks, feeding, exercise, or other care according to each pet’s needs. I remain responsible for their overall care and delegate daytime responsibilities with clear instructions. I also maintain video surveillance of the kennel areas, allowing me to monitor pets throughout the day even while I am offsite. My professional experience handling detection canines has made safety, structure, and responsible handling especially important to me. My goal is to provide a secure environment with consistent care while minimizing unnecessary interactions between boarded pets, our household, and other animals. Safety is the foundation of how I care for animals. My professional experience handling detection canines has taught me the importance of understanding canine behavior, maintaining secure environments, following established routines, and never taking unnecessary risks with an animal in my care. Our boarding kennel is separate from our family home, providing a dedicated and controlled environment for our guests. Dogs stay in a clean, climate-controlled indoor kennel with access to a secure, fenced outdoor kennel area with shelter. This setup allows me to control interactions and provide each dog with appropriate space rather than requiring unfamiliar pets to immediately integrate into a household environment. The kennel areas are also under video surveillance, allowing me to monitor pets when I am not physically present. My family provides additional daytime oversight and supervision while I personally remain responsible for each pet’s overall care. I take owner instructions seriously and want to know about your pet’s temperament, routines, triggers, medical needs, and any behavioral concerns before their stay. Honest communication helps me keep your pet, my family, and other animals safe. We are an animal-loving family with our own very well-loved barn cats, so responsible animal care is already part of our everyday life. My goal is to provide owners with peace of mind knowing their pet is staying in a safe, secure, structured, and caring environment.

Sarah was absolutely amazing! She watched my dog I.V. for 12 days, and I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. From the start, her communication was excellent—she sent plenty of pictures, daily updates, and made us feel totally at ease while we were away. Most importantly, I.V. was cared for like she was one of her own. She was happy, healthy, and clearly loved during her entire stay. Sarah went above and beyond in every way, and we are so grateful for the exceptional care she provided. I would 100% recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and attentive dog sitter. We will absolutely book with her again—she’s a gem! 🐾💛

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.

Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.

During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Bushwood home-away-from-home, packing:

  • Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
  • Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
  • Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Bushwood.

<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

You and your Bushwood sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.

Many sitters in MD ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
